At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Richmond, Indiana, and the surrounding Wayne County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Rehab work on the brick housing stock north of Main Street, new commercial construction along the National Road and the Interstate 70 interchange, and steady cleanout and demolition work across the older east side all keep containers busy here.
Four things shape the price: container size, the weight and type of debris, how long you keep it, and what the landfill charges to take the load. Below are our sizes, the City's placement and timing rules, what Indiana keeps out of a landfill, and how soon we can deliver.

| Size | Average Price Range | Approximate Dimensions | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Yard Dumpster | $399–$499 | 12' L × 8' W × 3.5' H | Concrete, brick, and heavy debris; small cleanouts; single-room remodels |
| 15-Yard Dumpster | $449–$569 | 16' L × 7.5' W × 4–5' H | Garage cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, small roof tear-offs |
| 20-Yard Dumpster | $499–$649 | 22' L × 7.5' W × 4.5' H | Whole-home cleanouts, multi-room renovations, flooring removal, roofing |
| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |
| 40-Yard Dumpster | $699–$899 | 22–24' L × 8' W × 8' H | Commercial demolition, industrial cleanouts, large-scale construction |
Size is the first call and the cheapest one to get right. Going a size small usually ends in a second haul or an overweight load, and either costs more than the next size up would have.
Weight comes next, and Richmond's housing stock makes it matter. Brick, plaster, and old slate are dense, so a container that looks part full can already be heavy. Describe the building to your account manager and they will size for weight rather than volume.
Richmond has one genuine advantage worth knowing about. The city owns and runs its own landfill inside the city limits, which keeps the haul short compared with towns that truck debris 40 miles. Non-residential loads start from a published $4.50 minimum charge, with weight billed on top.
Sorting pays off directly here. The landfill keeps separate dump sites for clean fill, brush, and pallets, and the City warns that mixing those into a general load can put the whole load on a higher rate per ton. On a demolition job, that can be the difference between one container and two.
One scheduling point also affects cost. The City requires construction debris to be gone within ten days of the work finishing, so a container left sitting after the job wraps turns into a code problem rather than just an inconvenience. Your account manager will set the pickup to land inside that window.

Choose on volume first, then check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest, and the right pick for dense material. A bathroom gut, a chimney teardown, or a load of broken sidewalk all suit it, because weight limits bind long before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is the step up for a mid-size job. A garage cleared to the studs, carpet and plaster from one floor, or a small roof tear-off all fit without paying for a 20.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for whole-house work in Richmond. A kitchen and bath together, a full cleanout, or a single-story re-roof all land comfortably inside it.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles the bigger projects. Gut renovations, additions, and new residential construction throw off bulky mixed debris, and this size keeps up with a crew.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. Commercial strip-outs, warehouse clearances, and demolition along the industrial corridor are what it is built for.
Not sure which way to go? Walk the job through with your account manager and they will pick the right one.
On private property, like a driveway or a job site lot, Richmond does not require a permit for the container, provided the debris is in an approved container rather than loose on the ground.
The street is out. The City makes it unlawful to place refuse in any alley, street, river, or other public place inside the city limits, and repeat violations on the same property in one calendar year carry escalating fines. There is no published street permit that changes that, so plan on the driveway or the lot.
The timing rule is the one that catches people. Richmond requires construction refuse to be removed within ten days after the construction work is finished. The clock runs from the end of the job, not from delivery, so book your pickup as the work wraps.
It is also worth knowing that the City does not take on construction debris itself. Its own rules say the Sanitary District Board is not required to collect and dispose of construction and industrial refuse, which is exactly why a roll-off container is the normal route for a remodel or a teardown here.
Any company collecting debris in Richmond needs a private operator permit from the Board of Sanitary Commissioners, which involves a written application, a vehicle inspection, proof of insurance, and a small annual fee per truck. For questions, the Richmond Sanitary District answers on 765-983-7450, and Infrastructure and Development is on 765-983-7242. Your account manager will confirm the permit side and the ten-day clock before anything is scheduled.
Ordinary construction and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from Indiana law and from a few specific local rules.
Indiana keeps whole tires out of landfills. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management states that landfills cannot accept whole waste tires, with narrow exemptions, and that open dumping or burning them is illegal. Tires need the landfill's separate drop-off area instead of your container.
Vehicle batteries are banned too. The same agency says spent lead-acid batteries may not be discarded in landfills, and that dealers must take the old battery when you buy a new one.
Household chemicals follow the same logic. Motor oil, oil filters, antifreeze, paint, solvents, and fuel all need a hazardous waste route, and televisions and monitors contain leaded picture tubes that keep them out of general waste.
Richmond adds its own points. Explosive material of any kind is barred from any refuse container, grass clippings are not collected, and appliances such as refrigerators and stoves have to have their doors removed or sealed and need to be arranged separately. Brush and yard waste have their own stream.
If something on your job does not fit any of these categories, ask your account manager before it goes over the rail.

Most Richmond debris goes to the New Paris Pike Landfill at 5242 New Paris Pike, which the Richmond Sanitary District owns and operates as a public utility. Having the landfill inside the city is the reason haul costs here stay reasonable.
The City publishes two sets of hours for the site. The weigh-in area, where construction material is checked in and where commercial customers and anyone outside the district go, is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., closed Sundays and holidays. The resource recovery area for household trash, yard waste, clean fill, and recycling runs longer, to 6 p.m. on weekdays and 4 p.m. on Saturday.
The site is more than one pit. It keeps separate areas for pallets and skids, brush, clean fill, tires, refrigerant units, household chemicals, and recycling, which is why sorting a load before it leaves the job can lower what the ton costs. The landfill manager answers on 765-983-7457.
One thing to remember if you plan to run anything to the site yourself: the City may ask for proof of Sanitary District service at any point during a visit, meaning a recent bill and photo identification. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and what the disposal side comes to before delivery.
5242 New Paris Pike, Richmond, IN
Richmond Sanitary District landfill; weigh-in open Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturday to 1 p.m.
Most Richmond orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days ahead gives you room to clear the drop spot and line the pickup up with the end of the job.
Here is how to keep delivery day simple:
Watch the Saturday clock too. The weigh-in area closes at 1 p.m. on Saturday and the site is shut on Sunday, so a container filled on a Saturday afternoon is normally hauled the following week.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster delivers throughout Richmond, from the Starr Historic District and the neighborhoods off North West 5th Street to the industrial blocks along Industries Road and the commercial strip near the state line.

Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
In Richmond, expect $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, on a five-day rental. The weight and type of debris and the landfill's charges both move the final figure. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Richmond is one of the better places to self-haul a single light load, since the landfill is inside the city. Past one load it still loses, because every visit carries a minimum charge, the weigh-in area keeps short hours, and a pickup bed holds very little.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a few chairs, and some boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so you will run out of room long before you reach the weight allowance.
Keep out whole tires and vehicle batteries, both banned from Indiana landfills. Paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, antifreeze, and asbestos stay out as well, along with televisions and monitors. Explosive material is barred from any container, and appliances need separate arrangements with their doors removed or sealed.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. Weight is what sets your real cost, though. Brick, plaster, and concrete are dense enough to clear the included tonnage while the container still looks half empty, so a dedicated container for heavy material often works out cheaper.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the price covers delivery, pickup, and disposal rather than calendar days. Weight moves your bill far more than the days do. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs.
Most construction and household debris is fine: lumber, plaster, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, trim, cabinets, doors, furniture, and general clutter. Clean brick, block, and concrete are accepted, and they cost less when kept in their own container. Tires, brush, and chemicals need a different route.
